Silver Bells
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Strings of street lights, even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you hear
Driftwood
We've been watchin' the signs
We've been readin' the news
And now we're starin' amazed at
your shame-faced bluse
We shoulda guessed it
I guess we shoulda guessed it
You've been walkin' the line
Like a bad man's dream
Never pay who you lay
Never say what you mean
You should get arrested
Give us something to trust in
We've been wastin' our time on you
All we want is a fighting chance and you give us
Handstand weekends, peaches in the darkness
Cool hand dealin', leeches lookin' harmless
You should get arrested
(chorus)
Has anybody seen the bre
We've been readin' the news
And now we're starin' amazed at
your shame-faced bluse
We shoulda guessed it
I guess we shoulda guessed it
You've been walkin' the line
Like a bad man's dream
Never pay who you lay
Never say what you mean
You should get arrested
Give us something to trust in
We've been wastin' our time on you
All we want is a fighting chance and you give us
Handstand weekends, peaches in the darkness
Cool hand dealin', leeches lookin' harmless
You should get arrested
(chorus)
Has anybody seen the bre
